we develop and produce high quality heavy machinery for agriculture and industry

What began as a modest production of small toys and tricycles for local customers, has now become a global supplier of high quality machinery.

Norwegian craftsmanship since 1949

In 1949, at the age of 27, the Norwegian welder, Johan Gjønnes, invested in a welding machine. The intention was to make a living out of repairing sledges and bicycles for neighbors and acquaintances.

INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS BASED ON EXPERIENCE

In the 60s and 70s, the production of agriculture oriented equipment increased, and as the wheels turned faster, more employees got involved in the production. Since most of the workers came from farms or had their background in farming, the development of new products were based on broad practical experience and a flair for the users needs.

Passion for innovation and quality through 60 years

Orkel has earned critical acclaim and a reputation for high quality through experience and innovative design. Quite a long way from the small, modest countryside workshop the founder, Johan Gjønnes, established over 60 years ago, quality, innovation, commitment and passion for excellent craftsmanship are still ideals we work towards.
